His blogs and social media activity featured many posts expressing far-right views and conspiracy theories, including posts related to QAnon, lies by MyPillow founder Mike Lindell about the 2020 election being stolen, and sharing content that alleged the pandemic was an attempt by global elites to bring about a new world order.
At the time of his arrest on Friday, DePape, 42, maintained a subscription-model blog where he vented rage over Covid-19 precautions and espoused beliefs shared by the conspiracist QAnon movement. The page also includes dedicated sections for Holocaust denial, climate change denial, transphobia, racism, misogyny, voter fraud conspiracy theories, Second Amendment absolutism, screeds against groomers and “pedos,” and trashing actress Amber Heard, the ex-wife of Johnny Depp.
In another post, DePape advocated for the ridiculous belief, popular among supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory, that Hillary Clinton sexually abuses children in Satanic rituals and murders her political foes. DePape filled his blog with antisemitic and racist references, including a post denying the Holocaust took place.

Democrats are despicable and should be indicted for inciting violence. They're trying to gin up anger in their supporters to attack conservatives. Their narrative is quickly falling apart.
Pelosi attacker David DePape's ex says he is 'mentally ill,' once came home thinking he was Jesus: report
Oxane Taub, the purported former life partner of David DePape — the man who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi inside his California home — says DePape has "been mentally ill for a long time."
Taub is a jailed nudist activist in California who goes by the name Gypsy. She is currently locked up in the Californian Institution for Women after being convicted on abduction charges in 2021, according to ABC7.
"Hello this is Gypsy Taub. I am the ex-life partner of David DePape and the mother of his children," Oxane Taub told the outlet.
"He is mentally ill. He has been mentally ill for a long time," she added, saying she had two sons with the man before splitting up seven years ago.
Taub went on to detail one incident when DePape reportedly came home after disappearing for almost a year out of the blue.
"He came back in very bad shape. He thought he was Jesus. He was constantly paranoid, thinking people were after him. And it took a good year or two to get back to, you know, being halfway normal," Taub told the outlet.
Pressed about DePape's political leanings, Taub said he had never been particularly involved.
"When I met him, he was only 20 years old , and he didn't have any experience in politics, and he was very much in alignment with my views, and I've always been very progressive. I absolutely admire Nancy Pelosi," she said.
She went on to offer her "deepest apology" to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband.
Don't expect that the fake news media will give you the real facts.

It's too bad for you that the neighbour was talking about his ex wife. That must bother you.
He is unable to comprehend the concept the Conservatives obey the law.
It seems conservatives don't want to call the Pelosi attack political violence. And here's why.
Why many conservatives won’t call the attack on Pelosi’s husband political violence
To acknowledge a potential political motivation for the crime would require a reckoning with a decade of vilifying the House speaker.

To acknowledge a potential political motivation for the crime would require a reckoning with a decade of vilifying the House speaker.
Fox contributor Caitlyn Jenner said in a segment Friday that the Pelosis should have more security at their home, as violence is a problem for all public figures and celebrities.
For others, it was business as usual, keeping up standard political attacks on the House speaker, despite the events.
“There’s no room for violence anywhere,” Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said in response to the attack on Paul Pelosi during a campaign event on Friday, “but we’re gonna send [Nancy Pelosi] back to be with [Paul Pelosi] in California.”
Journalist Greta Van Susteren asked Youngkin in an interview on Newsmax if he’d like a “do over” on his comment. Youngkin declined to answer.
The alleged attacker’s online presence shows a man who’d drifted into the far-right world in recent months, according to a review of his accounts by the Los Angeles Times. He accepted bigoted views and right-wing conspiracy theories, including the false belief that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election.
Pelosi has been the most-targeted Democratic figure by the right for years, often with violent rhetoric and imagery. To acknowledge even the potential for a political motivation for the attack would require a reckoning with a concerted, decades-long campaign to vilify the House speaker.
Experts point to rhetoric as a likely motive
“There have been many years of individuals calling for political violence, and a lot of that has been directed specifically at Speaker Pelosi, calling her dangerous or crazy or implying she’s not human,” said Heather Williams, a former intelligence officer and senior policy researcher at the Rand Corporation. “I don’t find it surprising that someone acted on that.”
Juliette Kayyem, a former assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security, said conservatives don’t need to be specific to threaten violence against Pelosi.
“All you need to do is create enough nurturing of the kind of violence that it is undeniable that someone will act on it,” Kayyem said. “But the vagueness of the language used by Trump and others lets them claim plausible deniability, which is what’s happening today.”
Conservatives have made Pelosi the focal point of political attacks for a decade
In 2014 and 2016, Republicans featured Pelosi in 13 percent and 9 percent of their attack ads, according to an analysis by Kantar Media. That number jumped to a third by 2018. This year, Pelosi along with Joe Biden, appear the most frequently.
Many of the ads feature violent imagery and themes; some are explicit. A western-style gunfight with GOP ticket hopeful Jim Lamon shooting at actors playing Pelosi, President Biden and Mark Kelly (husband of former Arizona House Representative Gabby Giffords – who was shot in the head in 2011) was the premise of a February 2022 ad.
Republican Senate candidate in Arizona Blake Masters refers to Pelosi as a “psychopath” in an ad he ran this summer. “Psychopaths are running the country right now,” he says, naming Biden, Pelosi and his Democratic opponent, Mark Kelly. At the end, Masters says “to save this country, we have to get rid of these psychopaths.”
In 2020, former president Donald Trump egged on a crowd of his supporters as they chanted “Lock her up,” after he mentioned Pelosi by name.
After the attack on Paul Pelosi, a video Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) posted to her Facebook account in 2019 resurfaced, where she’s heard accusing Pelosi of being a “traitor,” a crime she says is “punishable by death.”
Pelosi is often the villain in far-right conspiracy theories, including one that falsely claims a global cabal of powerful liberals runs a child trafficking ring. The conspiracy theory, known as “Pizzagate” inspired a shooter to open fire at a pizza restaurant in Washington in 2017.
The conservatives are just covering their own asses because they know they are partially to blame for the attack. Despicable
I will post this again since you apparently did not understand it the firs time. If the attacker had any association with Republicans or Trump or MAGA would have been plastering the internet and notwork news reports with banner headlines.
And yes you are despicable for thinking else wise. Your hatred is showing.
